Chapter 136: Chapter 135: Land of Fortune

“All cultivators from the Twelve Dynasties have arrived, open the sect gates!”

The milky-white, oblong gates opened, and the prohibition that enshrouded the Cloud Hidden Spirit Sect also opened a small gap, allowing the cultivators of the Twelve Dynasties to line up and enter.

The disciples were all very surprised as they looked around.

“Yang Brother… this Upper Sect’s gates really are different… even the spirit monkeys on this mountain are so sentient, they look just like humans.”

Shen Yao gently tugged at Yang Fu’s sleeve and pointed at a monkey on the sect’s mountain that was staring at them.

With ears that seemed extremely sensitive, the spirit monkey glanced at Shen Yao with a disdainful look, raised its middle finger, and appeared quite arrogant.

“Hey hey hey! This monkey! Look, Yang Fu!”

Yang Fu could not help but smile wryly.

“This spirit monkey is a Foundation Establishment Stage spirit beast… you should be calling it ‘senior,’ be careful not to offend it.”

“Ah? How did you tell, Yang Fu?”

Yang Fu looked at the spiritual beast card on the monkey’s head and smiled without saying a word.

Shen Yao shrank back, not daring to point anymore, and followed closely behind Yang Fu, observing the splendor of the Cloud Hidden Spirit Sect.

The Cloud Hidden Spirit Sect was immense, and as they walked along the periphery of the sect, they only saw endless spirit fields, planted with a large number of spirit plants, various spirit fruits, and spiritual medicines, many of which Yang Genshuo was seeing for the first time.

“Wow… this place is amazing, a holy land for farming! Isn’t this much better than the Fierce Sun Dynasty and the Danai Dynasty?”

“If we could open a few spirit fields here, the Yang Family would thrive…”

“Right, the Daoist said that the key limitation for the second-generation high-yield hybrid spirit rice is the cultivation of the soil’s fertility. The spiritual energy concentration here in the spirit fields is over 10 times that of ordinary spirit fields, starting at 20 points of spiritual energy concentration. Wouldn’t that result in higher-yield spirit plants?”

“If there’s a chance in the future, it would be great for the Yang Family to establish a family domain here in the Cloud Hidden Spirit Sect…”

Aside from the dark-skinned cultivators of the Silver Land Dynasty who took an interested look at the spirit fields, other dynasties’ cultivators couldn’t be bothered to glance at them, not caring much about such trivial matters.

“Are they looking down on spirit plants? That’s understandable… these proud children of heaven probably never lacked spirit food or spirit pills since birth, how could they care for these primitive spirit plant crops.”

The inability to distinguish the five grains is actually caused by the environment.

Some people are born in Rome, others live like beasts of burden.

The Yang Family have always been passionate about farming, with Yang Fu and Yang Fushuo even having to irrigate their family’s spirit fields with the Spiritual Rain Skill when they were kids.

Yang Fu, in particular, made many first-grade talismans of the Spiritual Rain Skill to water the spirit fields in different areas for the Yang Family.

And these lead teachers truly understood this.

The leader from the Danai Dynasty was a newly advanced Foundation Establishment female cultivator named Zhuang Li, her expression complex as she looked at these spirit fields.

“The Cloud Hidden Spirit Sect already possesses so many high-quality spirit fields, why do they still demand such copious tributes from our sect…”

The Danai Dynasty was in disarray; the royal family, relying on the military power of the Decree Bureau, was the first to stop paying tributes. The immortal clans from various places responded one after another, causing the Xuan Stone Sect to collect hardly any tributes in recent years, yet the contributions to the Upper Sect could not be less…

The Xuan Stone Sect was now surviving on past savings, but it was already stretched thin.

This time, apart from taking these disciples for a formal visit, she had another important matter… to request the Cloud Hidden Spirit Sect to exempt the Xuan Stone Sect from ten years’ worth of tribute, to be resumed after resolving the demon cultivator problem.

But the goal of the sect leader… in Zhuang Li’s view, seemed fraught with difficulties.

The messengers led the cultivators from the Twelve Dynasties through a vast expanse of Spirit Fields, finally arriving at their destination.

A series of staircases stretched up to the heavens.

Among the clouds above the staircases, there were faint glimpses of numerous buildings, ethereal and elusive.

Li Xuyang whispered to the disciples, “The disciples of the Cloud Hidden Spirit Sect cultivate among the clouds, where their dwellings actually are. The vast area below houses the menial disciples and some official disciples’ families.”

Wow!

The area below was so appealing that even Yang Genshuo found it enviable, yet it turned out to be merely the living quarters for the menial workers of the Cloud Hidden Spirit Sect.

“Round it off, the cultivation environment of us Yang Family folks is not even on par with the menial workers of the Cloud Hidden Spirit Sect…”

Only places like the practice rooms of the Xuan Stone Sect and the seclusion fire caves of the True Fire Sect, such treasured spots, could compete with the residences of these menials…

“The difference in resources is like that between the clouds and the mud!”

“No wonder so many disciples are knocking their heads off to participate in the Immortal Path Competition. If they can rank well and stay in the Cloud Hidden Spirit Sect… it’s essentially a class leap, and their future potential is beyond measure.”

Yang Genshuo kept shaking his head, feeling that their future planning needed a change.

“Wealth, companions, law, and land… This land is a blessed place, extremely important for an Immortal Cultivation Family.”

“If the place where the menial workers live is already this nice, wouldn’t the official disciples’ living area be in the heavens?”

“Well… it is indeed in the heavens, quite literally.”

The Sect’s buildings were constructed amid the clouds.

Yang Genshuo shifted his gaze from Yang Fu, slowly exploring upward, climbing hundreds of meters of staircase, and at the limit of his sight, he saw Immortals with the presence of divinity seated above, commenting on the disciples below the clouds.

“Fellow daoists, in this Immortal Path Competition, which Dynasty’s disciples are you favoring? Who has the ability to claim the title of ‘Pride of the Twelve Dynasties’?”

“Hehehe~ Every year we make guesses, but the Immortal Path Competition is a comprehensive test of the Immortal Path, with many variables. No one dares to claim that they can predict the Pride of the Dynasties… However, I do know which Dynasty will be the last.”

“Hmph~ The Danai Dynasty’s Xuan Zhen is arrogant with age, and has even sent some substandard disciples to participate in the Immortal Path Competition… Could it be that they think they can challenge the Upper Sect’s authority?”

“Perhaps it’s because we’re taking away their Sect’s most talented disciple, Murong Ziyuan, and they’re upset?”

“Although Elder Xuan Zhen is somewhat rigid, he wouldn’t go so far… I just heard from the Guide Messenger that it is because the Danai Dynasty has broken out in war, and they can’t spare the attention.”

“I see… that is understandable. This time, other Dynasties are missing a strong competitor.”

“The Danai Dynasty produces an Abnormal Spiritual Root in Murong Ziyuan… It seems they have already exhausted the Dynasty’s Qi Fortune; it will be difficult for them to produce another prodigy capable of competing for the title in the next hundred years.”

“I’ve seen a disciple from the Sea God Dynasty with exceptional talent, possessing the rare Heavenly Spirit Root that appears once in a hundred years, who may replicate Murong Ziyuan’s past feat of dominating the Twelve Dynasties’ cultivators.”

“The disciples of the Silver Land Dynasty have always been stable and gifted, skilled in the Spiritual Plant Skill. They could shine in the second event of the Immortal Path Competition.”

“Hehe~ The disciples of the Sky Garden Dynasty are the sole rulers of a Dynasty governed by a single Immortal Clan, gathering the strength of an entire Dynasty for one Family. Their resources are great, their overall strength robust, and they often produce disciples with the Wind Spirit Root. The family’s unity will give them a great advantage in the third round.”

“I find the female cultivators from the Purple Orchid Dynasty rather spirited too…”

“Eh? Look at the competitors from the Fierce Sun Dynasty… there are two cultivators with weak abilities mixed in as well. Do they also have a war going on?”

The Great Cultivation experts all turned their gaze toward the two odd participants from the other ten Dynasties.
